Like I said yesterday, I've been dreading this birthday. So here it is. 39. It's not so bad. I actually feel pretty good.
I started a screenwriting class last night. In case you didn't know it screenwriters are by and large bat-shit crazy. This class was no exception. It's full of fascinating creatives.
I think it was good for me. To interact with people (after spending my last two and half years pretty much chained to my drawing board in the desert) was a good thing for me.
Here's what I’ve learned in the last year.
1). Las Vegas sucks. I mean you think that Tulsa sucks and then you move to Las Vegas.
2). Mary and I can pretty much work our way through anything.
3). Surfing seems to be a better anti-depressant for me than anything a pharmaceutical company can spit out.
4.) I enjoy melancholy music. Mary calls it depressing music -but I like it. I guess you can take the MOD out of the eighties but...
5.) Teenagers are more fun to be, than to deal with. I'm lookin' at you MB you're freakin' me out!
6). The older I get, the less I seem to know.
7). Experience doesn't always equal wisdom.
